RAWALPINDI, Feb 06 (APP):The Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC) has resolved a long-standing drainage issue in Pindi Gheb after taking prompt notice of a public complaint under the Suthra Punjab Programme.
According to an RWMC spokesman on Friday, a sewer running alongside a government school in the Akhlaas locality was thoroughly cleaned and widened, removing long-standing obstructions to water flow and easing difficulties faced by the school and nearby residents.
The operation was carried out under the direct supervision of Assistant Commissioner Pindi Gheb Muhammad Zunair, in line with special instructions issued by RWMC Chief Executive Officer Rana Sajid Safdar.
Following these directives, RWMC Tehsil Manager Pindi Gheb Ali Raza Mughal mobilised workforce and machinery to ensure complete desilting of the sewer and expansion of its width to improve drainage.
Assistant Commissioner Muhammad Zunair, in his remarks, said resolving public issues on a priority basis remained the administration’s foremost responsibility. He said the cleaning and widening of the sewer would improve rainwater drainage and resolve a long-standing problem affecting students and local residents. He added that steps would also be taken in the coming days to line the sewer to prevent recurrence of the issue.
RWMC Chief Executive Officer Rana Sajid Safdar said timely redress of the citizens’ complaints under the Suthra Punjab Programme was the company’s responsibility. He said the action taken in Pindi Gheb reflected the RWMC’s commitment to prioritising sanitation and drainage issues.
Tehsil Manager Ali Raza Mughal said modern machinery and trained staff were utilised during the operation to restore water flow and avert future blockages.
The local residents and the school administration expressed satisfaction over the timely action and thanked the district administration and RWMC, voicing hope that such public-oriented measures would continue in the future.
